The Holy Grail and the Knight Templars

[Savwafair2012 Profile]

Nobody knows whether the grail still exits or whether it existed at the time of the Knights Templar? According to the legend, it was the cup used by Christ at the last supper, and subsequently given to Joseph of Arimathea after the crucifixion. According to some stories, Joseph then sailed to England where he created a christian church at Glastonbury, while others believe that he arrived somewhere in South-western Europe and travelled no further.

When Joseph arrived in Europe he organised the building of a temple on Muntsalvach, the mountain of salvation, where the holy vessel would be kept and protected. the grail Knights took part in a sAcred festival which also involved the grail Keeper or King. If you prefer to believe the Glastonbury version, then the grail was housed in the church and used as a chalice at a special mass held there called the "Mass of the grail". In both versions it becomes apparent that the Grail was a revered object, a great relic that needed to be housed properly.

So where is the grail today? Did it really exist or is it just a legend? If the latter were true it surely must be the finest example of creative imagination ever. A cup, used by Christ, guarded by mysterious Knights and possessing powers of healing and eternal life. The same cup that has captured the imagination of generations of treasure seekers for hundreds of years. Personally, I think that there's no smoke without fire here.

The main links between the Knights Templar and the Holy Grail are the facts that some knights did attend the cup and that the Templars are supposed to have guarded a great treasure which has never been found. I believe that the Knights were actually descended from the Merovingian kings of France (who lived in the area around Rennes-le-Chateau). They were enigmatic, long-haired characters who all shared the same birthmark - a red cross on their shoulder - which also appears on the white tunics of the Templars. Rumours of hidden "treasure" surround them and the Languedoc region of France which is home to several possible sites for the Mountain of Salvation.

The Templars were not just restricted to France. By the fourteenth century there were Orders in other European countries. In Scotland, Robert Bruce was fighting the English crown and, having no real forces of his own, he communicated that all Templars would be welcome to join him. When the Scots fought the English at Bannockburn they comprised an army of foot soldiers who were armed with inneffective pikes and bowmen. The battle raged all day and the scots appeared to be losing when suddenly, a "fresh force" of soldiers appeared, causing the English to panic and run. Was this fresh force a group of Templar Knights who would have been an impressive sight on the battlefield and enough to scare the English? Did the same group link up with the Sinclair family of Rosslyn Chapel before fleeing to North America with their "treasure" which they had already protected from the Pope. A map featuring Nova Scotia (New Scotland!) from the fifteenth century shows a crowned knight standing on the land. Could that be a Templar Knight? And of course we shouldn't forget that Nova Scotia is home to a unique mystery of its own - the Money Pit at Oak Island - where an unknown treasure remains hidden.
